Dressed to the nines or in a playful pose for the camera, Nicola Fox liked to portray herself as a carefree party animal.

But beneath the brash exterior was a sexual predator who stole a young boy's innocence.

Fox lured him to her west Hull home saying she wanted a "chat", then closed the curtains, put a table against the door so he couldn't get out, and forced him to have sex.

The 13-year-old was so traumatised by what she was doing, as she "pinned him down to the bed using her weight", that he cried. She became "annoyed" and "aggressive" and told him to stop.

But Fox didn't stop, carrying on for five or ten minutes until she had got what she wanted.

Far from any feelings of regret, remorse or concern for her victim, she then repeatedly taunted him that if he told anyone she "would say he wanted it" and consented.

The effect on the victim may be immeasurable, but he has already described his fear of future relationships and become socially isolated. He is also "angry" she took his first sexual experiences away from him in such an awful and demeaning way.

He even showed Fox the "dignity" she denied him, by refusing to use violence to get her off because he did not want to hurt a woman.

Fox, 33, admitted sexual activity with a child and was jailed for four years at Hull Crown Court, but she seemed entirely unrepentent as she sat in the dock, often shaking her head as her shocking crime was described.

She was said to be suffering "profound" mental health problems at the time and had been hearing "voices", but offered no explanation for what she had done.

After the hearing, a leading children's charity issued an appeal for increased vigilance to keep young people safe.

A spokesman for the NSPCC said: "Fox took advantage of a 13 year old boy who cannot give consent at such a young age.
